The cost to enter one category is £75 exc VAT.

Can I use a different payment method?

How will I know that my entry has been accepted?

After payment has been taken on WorldPay or PayPal, you will receive an email, giving you a nominee logo and People's Choice voting logo. If for some reason this does not arrive, please email customerservices@thegoodwebguide.co.uk.

The GWG chooses sites at random on a weekly basis. You can email customerservices@thegoodwebguide.co.uk and ask to feature. Please use the following in the title of your email: Awards - Spotlight Feature.

Do you tweet about all the entries?

The GWG endeavours to tweet about all the sites that have entered. However, on occasions, some sites might get missed off the list. Please email us if this is the case and we will rectify it.

When is the closing date?

The closing date is midnight Wednesday 31st July 2019.

Why do you charge an entrance fee?

The entrance fees cover the administrative costs of staffing the programme, maintaining the website, the judging process, the marketing of the Awards and the reception.

How does the judging process work?

Entries are subjected to preliminary judging, category by category, from which selected sites will progress to a shortlist. A category shortlist is then presented to the panel of judges, who will choose a winner per category.

Once the category winners have been established, the judging panel will choose one overall winner, The GWG Website of the Year and The GWG App of the Year.

Entries in this category are judged purely on the response from their customers/clients who vote for them. The judges play no part in this category. The voting takes place during a specified time and the site that receives the most votes, wins the People's Choice category.

New categories

For those entering Best Digital Transformation or Technology Website and Best Use of Social Media, The GWG will email you asking for supporting details.

When is the shortlist announced?

The GWG aims to publish this at the beginning of October but this date may change. The GWG will keep all entrants informed of the proposed date.

If my site is shortlisted, what happens next?

Each of the shortlisted sites (two guests per site) is invited to attend an evening reception held on Wednesday20th November at a central London location.

What do I get if my site is a category winner?

Category winners receive a trophy and are able to display an Awards 2019 banner on their site.

What do I get if my site is made The GWG Website of the Year?

The winning site will receive a number of prizes, details of which will be announced in due course.
